The final two road games in the series for the Volcanoes at the Vancouver Canadians have been canceled and will not be rescheduled, due to poor field conditions at Nat Bailey Stadium.

Thursday's game was suspended due to rain and scheduled to be resumed as part of a doubleheader on Friday, but the weather did not allow the doubleheader to continue. With the games not holding any playoff implications in the Northwest League, they have been canceled rather than postponed.

Salem-Keizer (31-40) returns home for the final three games of the season, with the Volcanoes hosting Boise at Volcanoes Stadium. The three-game series begins on 6:35 p.m. Saturday.
